<p><strong><a href="http://cometdaily.com/2008/05/22/on-board-vs-off-board-comet/">On-board vs. Off-board Comet</a></strong></p> Useful distinction. On-board comet runs on the same server as the rest of your application; Off-board comet is served from a separate server (generally a subdomain) and a separate stack. If you want to stick with PHP, Rails or Django for the rest of your site off-board comet looks like the way to go. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/comet">comet</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/joe-walker">joe-walker</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/php">php</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/rails">rails</a></p>
